Some of those reviewed are small laptops,...more than real netbooks.

I think the Acer Aspire One A150L is also Acer Aspire One AOA150-1577 with 120 GB HD 1GB RAM Windows XP Home being sold online at Walmart.com [click here].

I really want one of these, especially if it has that basic Linux built into the bootup. Most of the stuff I do with a computer is browsing, email, and videos, and junk. I do have some serious desktop firepower for gaming, but I don’t do that day in and day out. I can fire up one of these guys and use the Linux browser for 90% of my day.

Waiting for the price droppages.

Ah hah!

THANKS FOR THIS. My new [actually refurbished] Aspire just arrived. Haven’t tried hooking it up to the net, yet.

Any tips beyond the articles posted?

Got mine through TigerDirect.com

After searching through WalMart and a list of other better known places to no avail.

I wanted the one without the hard drive and WITH Linux. Turned out to be hard to find, for some reason.
